hello

anyone knows when C++ 9.1 will be avalaible? and there would be some performance improvements?

thanks

I doubt anyone could give more than a rough expectation about when 9.1 would transition from beta to release, maybe around March, if all goes well. I wouldn't expect big differences in performance across the board. Vectorized code, particularly under OpenMP, should see improvements. It shouldn't affect your purchase plans. If all you are looking for is performance improvement for currently supported platforms, your license will be good for all versions, 9.0 upgrades will continue, and you can adopt 9.1 as it becomes convenient.

Tim's comments are not quite correct. 9.1 will be a replacement for 9.0 and, as it was with 8.1 and 8.0, updates to 9.0 will stop once 9.1 is out. Unlike with 8.1, though, you will be able to have both 9.0 and 9.1 on the system and switch between them as desired. Tim's suggested timeframe for 9.1 is also a bit optimistic, but I can't talk about release dates at this time.

We ALWAYS are doing performance enhancements, and 9.1 is no different. Note that whenever you buy an Intel compiler, you get any update or upgrade released in the next 12 months at no charge.

I hope it comes out before I graduate this spring and lose my student discount...

Is there any chance of getting the VS2005 integration as possibly a separate download so we don't have to wait until april? We're in the process of converting to VS2005 and not having the Intel compiler for a couple of months will be painful ...

Phoenxhwk,

I am sorry you are having to wait till April.

Could youconsider applying for the 9.1 compiler beta program by logging into the premier.intel.com support network?

Cheers,

Ganesh

How do I get entry to the Beta program? I cannot find anything on premier.intel.com ...

Hi,

You can create a new issue requesting access to the beta program.
